Paris Saint-Germain won in the return game of the Champions League quarter finals against Aston Villa on Tuesday 15 April 2025 in Birmingham. After a first goal-rich confrontation at the Parc des Princes, the Parisians confirmed their superiority on the lawn of Aston Villa, thus strengthening their advantage in this playoff phase. The game, which is currently taking place, was marked by a demonstration of tactical efficiency and a spectacular realization of Nuno Mendes, consolidating the hope of a qualification for the French club.

The opening of the score was the work of Ashraf Hakimi from the eleventh minute, giving the advantage to Paris Saint-Germain. However, it was Nuno Mendes who really sealed the fate of the match, scoring a second goal on a staggering counterattack initiated by Ousmane Dembélé. Taking advantage of an ideal position against the opposing goaltender, Emiliano Martinez, the Portuguese defender controlled the ball accurately before sending a powerful strike from the inside of the left foot that found the post before finishing his race at the bottom of the nets.

This second production of Nuno Mendes illustrates the quality of the Paris Saint-Germain collective game and demonstrates the effectiveness of its offensive strategy. The Parisian club thus seems well off to qualify for the semifinals of the Champions League, thanks to a solid performance and a clear tactical mastery against a formidable opponent. The match continues to be a highlight in the Paris Saint-Germain season, highlighting the talent and determination of its players.
